C in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference (pdf)

Description

In three sections, this authoritative book covers:

• C language concepts and language elements, with separate chapters on types, statements, pointers, memory management, I/O, and more
• The C standard library, including an overview of standard headers and a detailed function reference
• Basic C programming tools in the GNU software collection, with instructions on how use them with the Eclipse IDE

The new edition of this classic O’Reilly reference provides clear, detailed explanations of every feature in the C language and runtime library, including multithreading, type-generic macros, and library functions that are new in the 2011 C standard (C11). If you want to understand the effects of an unfamiliar function, and how the standard library requires it to behave, you’ll find it here, along with a typical example.

Ideal for experienced C and C++ programmers, this book also includes popular tools in the GNU software collection. You’ll learn how to build C programs with GNU Make, compile executable programs from C source code, and test and debug your programs with the GNU debugger.
